Moreover, they still have that data juding from OPs screenshot with the diff view, lol. I don't think it would be very hard for AI to figure out that it's a garbage answer and just pull the version before edits.

This problem is not a technical one; the companies already have the data.

It's kind of a running joke here in NYC how we'll watch some movie depicting the city as a dystopian wasteland, then we walk outside into tree-lined streets, coffee shops, overflowing sidewalk cafes, and people generally living and enjoying their lives.

That image is incredibly outdated and has become an increasingly tired cliche.

This applies equally to the outer boroughs. Poorer neighborhoods (in any borough) are scrappier, of course, than the rich areas. But they're just as full of life and vibrancy.

I really take your point on the media projection. It's relentless. And it really keeps an outdated image alive, especially in the minds of people who don't live here and can't directly contrast with their own eyes.
Those trying so hard to "change the world" often learn the hard way why the world is the way it is - and it's not because you're so smart and everyone else is so stupid.
I know.

This turns a Linux container into a bootable Linux OS.

If your container starts a GUI environment and launches a browser pointed to your React app I see no reason to think that wouldn't work after making it bootable.

It sounds like you're expecting it to be some kind of OS of its own though, that it would automatically drop straight in to code you give it somehow. That's not what it is.
You are kidding, Facebook, twitter and google are black boxes. ChatGPT (as a a generic name for LLM) is another level of black box.

Why would OpenAI even need to partner with SO? Scraping is free.

Just shows how much money OpenAI has to spend when they could have got it for free.
Since the content is licensed under CC-BY-SA, the solution is to wait until OpenAI eat the content, and ask them to attribute the copyright to you when they create derivative work (e.g. OpenAI models).

Seems fair, and provides back the credit to the person who prepared the answer.
You're right of course. It makes me wonder though about the legitimacy of keeping someone's name next to an answer, and in principle allowing the answer to be edited and updated, but preventing some kinds of edits.

One might reasonably claim that SO is doing something equivalent to saying "this person thinks the answer as written is true and implicitly endorses the products involved". YMMV, but publishing something like this, especially with the knowledge that the person would like the post removed, could be considered defamatory.
Gamepass is pretty generous. Gamers see MS buy a studio and add their catalog to gamepass. PC gamers appreciate that Xbox games are also usually on PC.

Nintendo sends a ton of C&D letters to smaller developers, and are pretty anti-emulation. Games never go on sale. Remakes are expensive ($60 for Super Mario RPG for example).

Sony just had the whole "You need a PSN account to play a PC game" thing. But also, you can't create a PSN account in some countries, so sorry you can't play the PC game you bought anymore. They ended up walking it back though. You also need to pay to play online, which is a thing on xbox as well. But I think that's usually drowned out by the "PC Gamers" who don't need to pay for something like that.
It isn't, pointers in Franz Lisp can be used unmodified in C.
Take away the state and I can self defend my capital from aggression with ak47. Under anarchism then what you going to do? Either you attack me, get someone else to attack me, or have a 'not' state do it.

Or just maybe leave me alone and agree to trade capital voluntarily. All options.
At least on-line, the definitions I'm seeing are very heavy on the "there are no rulers / authorities / states / government" points. There ain't no "as long as it's fair" escape clauses.

Small-scale, if well-behaved people are the vast majority, and there are easy ways to cut out the occasional bad actor - that can work very well. Just look at the Internet of the 1970's and 1980's.

Larger scale, with a real-world mix of human behaviors, and cutting off the "wrong sort" far more difficult - OOPS. Look at the modern internet, and the many toxic actors and organizations that have explosively grown in the large-scale anarchy.

EDIT: Add "no big rewards for becoming dominant" to my preconditions for anarchy working well. You for-sure could not have gotten Zuckerbucks-grade rich by dominating the early internet.
You nailed it.

Thank you.

So just to clarify I didn't have an audience when I wrote the book. I took the time and told people my story over the past 6 months, and while I did that - sold books.

I think good storytellers should be able to build an audience regardless of the format - highly recommend any aspiring author to try it.
I'm old enough to remember when Google was good. I don't think this is a scenario you have thought through.

Now, the problem with social networks is that they all are going for maximum market share. Which is the same as going for toxic and divisive communities. The collapse of Usenet in the Eternal September was just the opening salvo. It has happened to Facebook, it happened to Twitter, it has already happened to Threads (that place is worse than twitter now by far!), and it happened to many other less known things in between.

Any IRC channel above a certain size becomes toxic or useless or both, any Discord. Any group of people in the same room all screaming.

The solution isn't to ban big corporations. The solution is to build smaller "cells" with limited "immigration".
>More individuals are increasingly recognizing that we are currently in a medieval era of the Internet. The content and creations we share online today are essentially not entirely our own.

currently? Even in the geocities days, companies can presumably crawl/scrape your site to train their LLMs. The only way of preventing that is by paywalling your site, which I doubt many hobbyist bloggers are going to do.
Any content you post on Stack Overflow is licensed (by you) as CC BY-SA [1]. Which is fantastic! Your answer can be freely (with attribution) used elsewhere. Admittedly, the main use has historically been clone websites that just add adverts with no value. But the principle is there.

But if anyone has a license to use your content... Then certainly Stack Overflow do! If they want to post an old version of your question/answer that hasn't been overwritten with a message about some cause you care about, important as it may be to you, then they're free to do that. This is not news.

Maybe not legally speaking, but the users are the ones who put the time into the answers. To the users, emotionally, it's their own content they are "defacing", and they're doing it specifically because the content they worked hard on is now being greedily monetized in the 'AI rush'.

Protest is rarely pretty, often not legal. That's the point...
Technically, search engines scraping content are doing illegal reproduction of copyrighted works, it's just tolerated by the copyright owners (but not all of them tolerate that; news websites for example).
That's so awesome to hear! Notes is very much still alive, with me and other wonderful maintainers still on it. Soon I'll push some performance improvements and some other features (like exporting to .txt) that I developed in Plume into Notes.

I'm putting more of my focus in Plume these days. But Notes will benefit from some improvements in Plume.

EDIT: You can give Plume a try it's using the same database as Notes so you won't have to change a thing (just backup your data please since Plume is in Beta!). And you won't have any fewer features, even tho it has a Pro plan (this only adds features that Notes doesn't have already).
> and certainly not on Stack Overflow where you agreed to have everything under the CC license

Does OpenAI comply with the CC-BY-SA 4.0 license terms? AFAIK (I don't use their products, so don't know much), they don't actually include 'derived from original by ...' and 'licensed CC-BY-SA 4.0' in their works, and StackOverflow has no rights to relicense the content to a different license.
Not really good. It recommended me X for "Amused" and Joker for "relaxed"
Totally agree. For example some Paul Graham’s posts still resonate with me.

But is it “life changing”?

That is too much to attribute.
Maybe :) Before "live to production" later tonight I tested it using a car FM transmitter adapter so things are already in motion haha.
Many many people use Copilot / ChatGPT in place of stack overflow for all the obvious reasons.
Wouldn’t AI help with this? Because complex discussions usually get more complex when multiple sub threads discussing the same topic of the discussion are opened in parallel so you get a disconnected and fragmented chat.
Ai could help by identifying that a new subthread is discussing a theme that already has an opened thread and direct the user writing the new thread there to participate in that discussion (by moving the post to the right part of the thread tree)

HN would certainly benefit from this.
This is kind of what Optane was in some incarnations (it's really terrible branding that conflates multiple technologies).
No such thing as Anarchy. I've evolved my view on politics, gangs, tribes and governments into a simple understanding that we're dealing with systems at-large and those systems will always be expanding to fill the known universe and they'll constantly be bumping into each other and competing. An "Anarchist" is someone that does not consent to an authority (system) or its self identified "social contract". Ironically these kinds of people are the ones that dream-up systems (Rousseau's ideas built the US constitution) which then attract and absorb the systems-people (conformists). I accept that these systems-people are violent (nature of systems) and predatory but inevitable and sometimes useful and will be part of humanity for as long as humanity exists. Anarchy is impossible.
Phi-3 in-browser inference using WebGPU
No, but the social problem is that StackOverflow's entire reason to exist is to provide correct answers common questions. So of course they will intervene if somebody starts ripping answers off the human facing user interface as well. The net will interpret damage as damage and route around it.
> no large US city is as dense as Paris, say, though Manhattan taken alone would be somewhat more dense than Paris

This seems off. If you consult this map and chart [0] Paris seems to do something very similar to NYC with regard to density. There's the city of Paris proper (75 on the map) which has a slightly higher population than Manhattan but a much lower density (52k/sq mi in Paris vs 74k). Then as soon as you get out of that 40 sq mi (about the size of the Bronx) into the the petite couronne density drops to well below that of any one of the five boroughs besides Staten Island.

So, yeah, if you take an area the size of a single NYC borough in the Paris region that's drawn specifically around the densest population zone then it has a higher density than NYC taken as a whole. But if you compare most-dense-zone to most-dense-zone then NYC is denser by a fairly wide margin, and if you compare areas that are of a similar size rather than only including the City of Paris proper then NYC wins again.

It seems like what you're describing is more an artifact of where we choose to draw city boundaries than that Paris actually is denser in practical terms as experienced on the ground.

Not just CC-SA, but CC-BY-SA, this is a big difference, they need to attribute the work to you.

Stylometric analysis can be used to link texts you write to your identity, even if written anonymously. These are grounds to claim the texts you write are inherently personal. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stylometry
I don't get why people are scared of GC. After working in embedded software, using mostly C, it was evident from profiling that C programs spend a lot of time allocating and releasing memory.
And those programs usually release memory in place, unlike GC languages where the release is deferred, done in parallel, and with time-boxed pauses. Most "systems" programs use worse memory management strategies than what a modern GC actually offers.

Sure, some devices require using static memory allocations or are quite restricted. But a lot of other "system programming" targets far more capable machines.
Relisten is the best, thank you!

Not sure exactly what this protest is for, questions and answers both published publicly and anyone can see them without an account and benefit from it.

Alright, if they use it to train some AI - what is the big deal? As I understand the original posts are still accessable.
Essentially users will be paying for faster search and better precision since you can do the same without payed AI.
Better systems programming is model based design and automatic code generation, period.

It is the be-all and end-all that will make those scenes in Star Trek where they alter some core starship system programming in 2 minutes flat without mistakes actually plausible.
Oh no. Working a nine hour day. The horror.
On the other hand, most people are happier when they don't have to spend hours every day in a car for basic things like going to work, picking up the kids from school, or buying groceries. Most people are also happier when they live close to their friends and family, when there are resources like libraries and universities nearby, or when they can choose between multiple restaurants in town.

There are plenty of people who are actually happier in cities, believe it or not. We're social animals, after all.
Early in my career I had to deal with similar issues, but with cellular networking equipment. I do think it's one of those things where if you have a way to detect the bit flips it happens way more than you think... but most people can't detect them and mostly get lucky enough that they never see an impact when it does happen.

But because we had some equipment that would checksum itself we were able to see the bit flips happen, probably every 1-3 weeks or so I'd find a bit flip.

Breaking up how? Splitting MS into Office and Windows creates two (functional) monopolies. Split it into Windows, Excel, Word, Powerpoint creates 4 monopolies.

Imo the only split that makes sense is to split it down the middle: TWO companies which BOTH have the rights to Excel. Half the engineers in each.

To add to this, there are other ML models with higher resolution. For example, Google's MetNet-3 uses satellite radar images and ground measurements, and its resolution is 1km x 1km. And we are currently working on training a "nano" version of this!

To be brutally honest, only the Wall Street elites can effectively pull that off. But then finance guys in Europe don’t do that bad either.

Other than the frantic pace of innovation, there is nothing to brag about the American system. It is glorified servitude for the majority, where the real “winners” are at the top and even they aren’t “happy” by any measure.

Financial freedom alone doesn’t equate to living and contentment - that requires a shift in the “I need to X so I can do/have/feel Y” mindset. Sadly, American economy thrives on this - the people pulling all the strings show carrots to the masses because it serves their purpose. The masses keep falling for it and the cycle repeats itself in perpetuity.

Like I said, this is great for innovation (to motivate people towards a capitalistic endeavour) but is absolutely soul crushing and mind numbing. Burnout is imminent.
Now could be the right time to put your old tape recorder on eBay (If you are in Slovenia) ;)
Except the concept of “alpha male” was debunked.
How is an AI supposed to work that out? Given the talk about how these models have a tendency to confabulate, this would seem problematic. Idk though, maybe this is now a thing?
> Specifically, the sLSTM has still recurrence (memory mixing) in it, i.e. you cannot fully parallelize the computation.

If you mean that you cannot fully parallelize inference, this might be true but also not quite relevant since the computational demands of inference are low. And you can always "parallelize" training to some extent, just by training larger batches.
Public comments are not personal data, either in the "common sense" meaning or as defined by the GDPR. Maybe purely legally you can revoke permission for HN to publish your comments, I'm not sure about that, but that's a completely different copyright thing unrelated to GDPR.
proc_macros are so terrible and propagate attributes everywhere. It would be so much easier to write derive macros with reflection support. This would also avoid fragile code generation in some cases.
I've yet to have decaf that tastes as good as the regular stuff unfortunately.
It's not even clear it's illegal; generally, the legality is in the use, not the copying of the data.

... But the easiest way to shortcut all of those thorny open questions is to go through the front door with a big sack of cash and an explicit agreement on how the data will be harvested and what it will be used for.
One thing I learned early in my programming career is that some people can program, as in writing original logic, but many employed programmers found programming to be too tedious or emotionally exhausting. For the later group the most common output of work was writing configurations. Programming logic defines a job but configurations merely describe what to do with existing jobs. The distinction is monumental.

Almost always the tool junkies were configuration people. Almost always the people who could program tended to avoid configuration madness as much as possible or would write scripts to dynamically manage the configuration madness for them.

The most counter-intuitive thing about this is that you really don't have to be smart to be a programmer. You just have to be willing to solve problems. You can call that adversity, grit, or perseverance. While higher intelligence is certainly helpful it is not the defining characteristic. I suppose its similar to consciousnesses, which is negatively correlated to intelligence and yet still required in exceptionally high doses to operating at the top of any profession.

Anarcho-X people are heavily misrepresented by the government.

If north america went anarcho-capitalist, it'd work as well as or better the current system.

But the problem is that there's still an entity which must enforce property rights, etc. This 'police/military force' then becomes the new government. It will ever increase in size. Eventually you arrive back to where we are.

Where government got so large that it's unsustainable, suddenly anarchist sentiments return.

> Bill Gates dreamed up...

This idea was ubiquitous in the 90s, only comparable to the AI hype today. All software was going to be written as components which could be combined and embedded into applications. It wasn't just Microsoft with OLE, the other behemoth was CORBA driven by IBM.

Eventually the web browser absorbed and leapfrogged the whole idea (despite, as you mention, the best attempts of the 'establishment' to kill the web).
> You can't argue that policing deters crime simply because when there is policing, crimes are prosecuted.

Why couldn't you? Defund the police = less prosecutions, less policing = more criminals...

Why wouldn't someone argue easily proven points that more police = more safety (Yes, some corruption does exist but it's not like that corruption goes away when the police do.)

"...from that perspective, investing in more police officers to save lives provides a pretty good bang for the buck. Adding more police, they find, also reduces other serious crimes, like robbery, rape, and aggravated assault."
Hear hear. Also, if we include programming paradigms in the category of "tools", I've found that having more options has decreased my programming velocity, as I get distracted while coding down one path by all the other methods which might be better. It's like Plath's fig tree. I deliver better code now but I could be 3x faster when all I had was a hammer.
